Torrance Gibson debate on quarterback vs. athlete

247Sports National Scouting Director Barton Simmons :
"So list him as a quarterback? That’s fine with me. He’s a darn good one. A four-star in fact. But he’s a five-star athlete.”


National Recruiting Insider Ryan Bartow:

"He’s only played the quarterback position one year. Ever. It’s the game’s most difficult position and Gibson threw for 1,864 yards and 19 touchdowns while rushing for 1,032 yards and 10 touchdowns leading his team to a state championship"

"6-foot-4, 210-pounds with a frame to add 20+ pounds easy. Check. Speed. Runs a sub 4.4. Check. Live Arm. Check. Touch. Check the film."

" How about a guy with ideal size, freaky speed and arm strength that can run that zone-read in for up-tempo offense? There’s one in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. right now. Name is Gibson."

And he's wanted by CUM, Malzahn and Butch to run their offenses. Really hope he commits to UT soon.

I would go with what Bartow says over Simmons. If he commits to UT soon and he has a super senior season in high school then most of the doubters will calm down. If he crashes and burns then we'll have about 1250 "I told you so" posts. I'm willing to wait and see.

Now k town you know posting positive things about Gibson in his thread is not allowed.

Has it been confirmed, other than his twitter account, that he made it in?

The fact that Dredrick Snelson, 2016 WR and his teammate, is on campus along with the tweet about hanging with Bates and Ordway are pretty good signs he's here imo. Unless absolutely everyone is just out to get us and trolling like madmen. I'm sure some will still insist there is no way he's here though.

fyp.
 

One of the blessings of Gibson is even if he doesn't work at QB, he can be an elite WR. I personally am a huge fan of Jennings and love his competitive nature. The fact that he has shown this much improvement at the QB position screams copious amounts of positives about his work ethic, which is something our QB has to have. Agree completely

We can't lose here if we get them both. One becomes a star qb. The other becomes a safety or wr.

You know what I don't get? Why everyone is so eager to mention Gibson failing and becoming a great WR. But it is a sin to mention Jennings might not have what it takes to be an SEC caliber QB.

So I guess all these top D1 coaches are just all star gazers huh? Lord another stupid post by someone who just wants to come into a recruits thread to trash him.

I don't have to butt kiss every recruit. Some I like and some I don't. We already have a QB similar to Gibson in Jennings who seems to be working hard to improve his game. Now if Gibson wants to join the team at WR then I'd giggle like a school girl.

TG is supposedly better at the same things and faster. Why not let them battle and see who is a great qb? Then the other can play somewhere else. The experts said as just a qb he would still be a four star. So why not take him over a 3 or low 4 star pocket qb who doesn't have the added bonus of maybe being able to move positions if needed? There are no 5 star pocket passers who throw better than TG out there.

I don't have a problem with JJ moving to DB IFhe doesn't pan out at QB.

Some were suggesting that Butch and the other coaches were going to move him as soon as he steps on campus to DB. I have a HUGE problem with that, Don't tell a kid he's being recruited at QB just because he wants to hear it.

I truly do not believe CBJ would do something like that.

As for TG, I want him here as a QB with JJ.

I wouldn't mind taking both if the '15 class could be as big as the '14. Also I'm not sure if that last sentence is serious or not. He's probably the best athlete in the class but not passer.
